Hi Jennie,
I am fairly new to Struts 2 but you can certainly do action wildcard
mappings with it, such as:
<action name="*" >
<result>/{1}.jsp</result>
</action>
where foo.action would map to foo.jsp.
However, my guess is that what you are asking for is a little bit more
advanced (and judging by the "*.do" you are not using Struts 2). You
might be better to look at using mod_rewrite on apache if you can.
Alternatively you could create or use something like the URL rewriting
servlet filter below.
<http://tuckey.org/urlrewrite/>
A very simple URL mapping servlet would do the trick and look
something like the servlet below. I'm sure that other other here
would be able to improve on this with some clever one line regular
expression but at least it gives you an idea of how to do it:
public class UrlMappingServlet extends HttpServlet {
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse
resp) throws ServletException, IOException {
String path=req.getServletPath();
String queryString = req.getQueryString();
// cut off the extension and leading slash
int end = path.lastIndexOf(".jsp");
path = path.substring(1, end);
// split the path into components
String[] pathcomponents = path.split("/");
// 0 -recipes
// 1 - number
String number = pathcomponents[1];
// 2 - recipe name
String name = pathcomponents[2];
String destination = "/recipeDetails.jsp"?number="
+ number + "&name=" + name + "&" + queryString;
RequestDispatcher rd;
rd = req.getRequestDispatcher(destination);
rd.forward(req, resp);
}
}
Of course, best practice states you should never go directly to a JSP
url in a Struts app. You should always go via an action.
